Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gas generator for a restraining apparatus that is mounted on a vehicle.
  • Pyrotechnic gas generators that use a solid gas generating agent are widely adopted as a gas generator used in a restraining apparatus such as an air bag apparatus mounted on an automobile or the like.
  • inventions have been proposed for absorbing and removing hazardous gas produced after activation, moisture in order to protect a gas generating agent from humidity before activation, and components produced by decomposition of a solid gas generating agent before activation.
  • JP-A No. 5-139239 discloses an invention in which an adsorptive active material for adsorbing hazardous residue produced by combustion of a gas generating agent is held and supported in a filter provided in a gas flow channel of an inflator (disclosed in claims).
  • JP-A No. 10-297415 presents an embodiment in which a moisture remover for removing moisture produced by combustion of a gas generating agent 5 is arranged inside an upper space S2 between a filter member 7 in a gas generator and an annular cover 25 (disclosed in paragraph 0020).
  • JP-A No. 2001-213688 discloses a gas generator according to the preamble of claim 1 and in which an adsorbent for adsorbing various radicals produced by decomposition of a gas generating agent is arranged inside a gas generating agent combustion chamber (disclosed in paragraphs 0053 and 0054).
  • the present invention 1 provides a gas generator for a restraining apparatus including:
  • the invention 1 includes the following embodiments 2-7:
  • the invention according to JP-A No. 5-139239 is intended to adsorb combustion residue.
  • a moisture adsorbent is separated from a combustion chamber by a burst disk 20, and after activation of the gas generator, the adsorbent is brought into contact with components produced by the combustion of the gas generating agent.
  • the adsorbent is arranged in a combustion gas exhaust path to facilitate the contact.
  • the gas generating agent and the adsorbent are arranged in a continuous space system before activation of the gas generator. This arrangement does not change even after the activation of the gas generator. Therefore, a high-temperature combustion gas and the adsorbent come into contact with each other after the activation of the gas generator.
  • the present invention provides a gas generator for a restraining apparatus such as an airbag apparatus which is capable of adsorbing moisture inside the gas generator and adsorbing gas that affects to decompose a gas generating agent before activation of the gas generator with an adsorbent arranged inside the gas generator, and which is capable of preventing a combustion gas, generated by the solid gas generating agent, and the adsorbent from coming into contact with each other at the activation of the gas generator.
  • a gas generator for a restraining apparatus such as an airbag apparatus which is capable of adsorbing moisture inside the gas generator and adsorbing gas that affects to decompose a gas generating agent before activation of the gas generator with an adsorbent arranged inside the gas generator, and which is capable of preventing a combustion gas, generated by the solid gas generating agent, and the adsorbent from coming into contact with each other at the activation of the gas generator.
  • radical components which is produced from a solid gas generating agent before activation of the gas generator (see JP-A No. 2001-213688 ), are adsorbed and retained, and also, moisture existing inside the gas generator is adsorbed and retained.
  • components produced by the activation of the gas generator see JP-A No. 5-139239 and JP-A No. 10-297415 ) are not adsorbed and retained.
  • the moisture existing inside the gas generator described above is moisture that has existed in the gas generator in a tiny amount during a manufacturing process of the gas generator.
  • the adsorbent is stored in the cup-shaped container.
  • the cup-shaped container is inserted and arranged in the inner tubular member such that an opening portion side thereof faces a housing ceiling portion and a bottom portion side thereof faces a housing bottom portion.
  • the opening portion is arranged such that a gap that enables gas to fluidly communicate inside with outside of the cup-shaped container is formed between the opening portion and the ceiling portion of the housing or a member arranged on the ceiling portion of the housing.
  • the bottom portion side may be inserted such that all of the outer circumferential wall surface of the cup-shaped container and the inner circumferential wall surface of the inner tube member directly oppose each other (in other words, a state in which all of the cup-shaped container is inserted), or may be inserted such that a part of the outer circumferential wall surface of the cup-shaped container and the inner circumferential wall surface of the inner tube member directly oppose each other (in other words, a state in which a part of the cup-shaped container is inserted).
  • “directly opposed” means both states of contact and separation with a small gap.
  • the remaining outer circumferential wall surface of the cup-shaped container which is not inserted may protrude from the inner tube member toward the housing ceiling portion side.
  • the gas generator according to the present invention before activation is such that gas can fluidly communicate inside with outside of the cup-shaped container, a gas inside the gas generator (in particular, the combustion chamber) and a gas inside the cup-shaped container are able to communicate with each other. Therefore, before activation, the gas inside the gas generator (in particular, the combustion chamber) and the adsorbent inside the cup-shaped container are able to come into contact with each other.
  • the container moves upon receiving an impact created by the ignition device (an igniter or an igniter and a transfer charge or the like) and abuts against the ceiling portion of the housing or a member arranged on the ceiling portion of the housing and causes the gap to close. Therefore, during activation, it can be made more difficult for the combustion gas generated by the combustion of the gas generating agent and the adsorbent in the cup-shaped container to come into contact with each other.
  • the ignition device an igniter or an igniter and a transfer charge or the like
  • all of or a part of the cup-shaped container is inserted into the inner tube member because, as described above, when an impact, produced at the ignition device during activation, is received, the cup-shaped container is moved using the impact. Therefore, in a case where only a part of the cup-shaped container is inserted, 1/3 or more of a height of the cup-shaped container is favorably inserted.
  • the member arranged at the housing ceiling portion may be a disk-shaped retainer or a cushion material.
  • the disk-shaped retainer is arranged to abut against the housing ceiling surface, in order to position a tubular filter at the time of providing tubular filter, or to prevent short-passing of combustion gas.
